Plus, I couldn't do a decat even if I wanted to. State requires yearly emissions inspections, and in any case any real exhaust mods would make the car too loud IMO.
I'm not expecting like a hundred horsepower from this either. Manufacturer says to expect about 7hp and about 12lb/ft. Various forums seem to support that it gives a noticeable power bump, so it's good enough for me.
dunno, most modern engines aren't suffocated by induction but at very least run happier with less backpressure. I wouldn't say for sure if good manifolds and decats translate to more hp without a remap as ecus dictate a lot but they certainly lead to better throttle response
@LOGiK If I lived at home or at an apartment i would consider it, but i am at a dorm fulltime currently, it is inconvenient, and and it would compromise the quiet of the car too much.
I mean most performance exhausts have an insert for making them less noisy, I've never used mine because pissing off neighbors is great but it's there if I needed it
